We are thrilled to announce that Creativeworld has been officially appointed by Blackburn with Darwen Council and Maple Grove Developments as the preferred marketing agency to design, develop and produce all marketing particulars for the most exciting development to come out of Blackburn in recent times, Cathedral Quarter.

We were originally invited in 2013 to tender for the opportunity to produce a full marketing strategy for the exciting development, by joint agents of the scheme Knight Frank and Trevor Dawson. With our extensive experience and reputation within the marketing industry, along with our unique portfolio offering of previous projects, we were perfectly placed to fulfil the requirements to be appointed.

Of the recent appointment, Creativeworld’s Simon Swindells added “Being involved with Cathedral Quarter in particular was something our whole team was keen to be a part of and get involved with. Blackburn is a town with an exciting future ahead of it with big plans and investment coming through and Cathedral quarter is set to become a major part of this future and we are proud as a local business to be a part of it moving forward.”

The new development will create a new, vibrant, mixed use quarter around the Cathedral in Blackburn Town Centre and will comprise a six-story office building, 60 bed hotel for Premier Inn, a range of shops and restaurant space as well as car parking. The buildings are arranged to create a new ‘Cathedral Close’ within which a new public square will be formed.

“Being involved with Cathedral Quarter in particular was something our whole team was keen to be a part of and get involved with. Blackburn is a town with an exciting future ahead of it, with big plans and investment coming through and Cathedral quarter is set to become a major part of this future and we are proud as a local business to be a part of it moving forward.”

Clare Turner from Blackburn with Darwen Council added Creativeworld impressed the team with their understanding and wide experience of the development and property sector. Their professional approach and understanding of the brief has meant they have quickly became a valued part of the team resulting in some already impressive work. We are delighted to work with them to successfully deliver such a transformational regeneration scheme for Blackburn town centre.”

Our team will be given the responsibility of creating a newly developed brand identity for Cathedral Quarter, along with a unique marketing strategy to promote the development to local businesses and people moving forward.
